met Senator Plumb, of Kansas, last night

at the beginning, but that in the end it viii

1t will not allow monopolies to crowd out the
smaller firms by great rebates on freight
Take, for instance, Philip Armour's meat es-

freight at the time is perhaps light on the
railroad. They have to keep their cars run

the pork Is put into Chicago ut a less rate
than any small deeler can send it there, and

Keeping Eeggs.

TO have fresh eggs the year around,
keep hens that will lay them fresh ev--
cry day. To prevent fresh eggs from
spelling on your hands, eat them or sell
them to some one else. We make no
extra charge for these two valuable
hints! The usual inquiries about pre-
serving eggs for several months have
arrived with the return of summer. In
answer, we have, as usual, to say that
we know no art by means of which eggs
can be made to retain the freshness of
their youth for six months, or more,
nor do we know of any method of re-
them after they have reach
ed their dotage. 1t has been proved
that eggs will keep in fair condition, two
or three months simply packed in salt,
or in dry, sifted, coal ashes. The COM
mon method ofkeeping in lime-water is
probably as good as any. The formula
is two pounds of lime, one pint of salt
and four gallons of water. Slack the
lime In hot water. Put in only fresh
eggs and keep them covered with the
liquid. Eggs thus packed and placed
in cold storage, when the temperature
is between $50 and 400, will probably
come out in edible condition six
months later, but they will not be fresh
and it twill be prudent to make use of
them soon after they are taken from the
pickel. .-iSeJected.

A WONDERFUL MEDIUM.
An Ignorant Little Girl Receives
Some Extraordinary Messages
From the Spirit Land.

A st. Paul (Minn.) special Pittsbure
daughter ofa Minneapolis washerwo
man, has developed wonderful power
as medium. She IS nine years old
but is very ignorant, never having re-
ceived common school education, and
is neither able to read or write. A few
days ago the girl told her mother about
having "funny Dreams" in which she
discoursed with several dead relatives.
Shortly after the girl took a slate and
pencil of an elder brother and began
writing in a clear, legible hand what
seemed to be messages from people who
had departed from this life. The writ
ing was peculiar in form, being right to
left instead of left to right, and was
read by the little ones mother by hold
ing the slate before the looking glass.
A day or two ago prominent busi-
ness man was called upon by the moth
er to see what he thought of the matter,
she being mystified and alarmed. It
was only moment after going to see
the girl and talking with her that she
passed into the peculiar condition at
tending the demonstrations known as
the "trance," and wrote him message
to all intents from his wife, who had
been dead some time, signing her
name. The communication carried in
formation upon certain domestic af-
fairs that the gentleman says no one
but his wife and himself had the
slightest knowledge of, least of all the
ignorant little girl who could not ordi-
narily write her own name, and whom
he never saw or heard of before. A
public test of the girls powers will be
made. a-=- ra rsa .--a- --. s. rss

Chunks OF Superstition.

One of Mrs. McLane's hens. neal
Thompson, Ga, laid an unusually large
egg short time ago, on which. If is de-
clared, was written in startling capital
letters the inscriptions: "Terrible
Earthquake in March," The news Ot
the omen flew around among the ne.
groes with great rapidity. and intense
excitement prevailed. Prayer meet.
lngs were held in cabins, people con.
fessed their sins to one another, and an
alarming state of mental depression
and religious fervOr obtained among
many of the blacks. 1t is now supposed
that the mysterious inscription was the
work OF young man emploved on
Mrs. McIane's farm.
A negro cook at Athens, Ga, had a
severe attack of rheumatism i'm the
back not long ago, and called in a vOu-
doc doctor to treat him. The voudoo
man said that his patient was under
the malign Influence of an enemy, and,
going out into the yard, returned with
a piece of red flannel tied i'm the middle
of blue string, which he declared to
be the cause ofall the trouble. The of
tending cloth was burned I'm the sick
room to the accompaniment of weird
incantations, the patient said that he
was much better, and the doctor, hav-
ing received his proper fee, departed.
FRANK Winn, precocious young
colored boy of Dallas, Tex, has shown
considerable inventive skill, and many
of the more superstitious of his race
think that he is in league with the
devil. Last week some of the credu-
lous blacks tried to rout Satan out of
the young inventors dwelling by nail
ing up the door and suspending before
it strands of hair tied around bits of
broken glass. To clinch the argument
with the black fiend they tackled a
horseshoe on the Intel of the door and
attached precious rabbits foot to the
knob.
A little negro girl of Calhoun, Ca,
goes up into the mountains every day
or two and talks, so she says, with an
obliging angel, who tells her q great
many mysterious secrets. The black
people place great deal of confidence
in her revelations, and await her COM
ing and going with anxious interest.
Her latest piece of information is that
the town will be visited by cyclone,
following close on the heels of q disas-
trous earthquake, before the year is out,
and will be totally destroyed.
A justice of the peace in West Vir-
glnia village recently fined q fisherman
heavily for insisting in the course of
trial before the sapient magistrate, that
the moon had something to do with
the ebb and flow of tides.

Literary Notes.
WONDERFUL BOOK.

: An agency for one of J. w. Buel's
books is about as valuable as we'll
stocked farm without any mortgages.
He seems to know by intuition what
sort of books will suit the people, and
he writes for the masses. He has never
yet written book that has not a great
success, but we predict that his latest
work, "Sea and Land" just issued by
Dan. Linaham & Co., of st. Louis, Mo-,
will outstrip all of his previous
efforts. 1t deals with subjects that are
always interesting, and he has treated
them in way that adds fascination to
interest. The Christian Reflector says:
"The book is a revelation to us. We
had no idea that the subject could be
treated in such an interesting manner.
1t is a great work, and we are almost
persuaded to turn book agents ourselves
and help to circulate it for the good it
will do" (See advertisement in anoth-
er part of this paper.) .

Carlisle has returned to the city from New

topics.
With regard to prospective legislation on
the tariff he said: II have every reason to
believe that an equitable reduction on i'm
ports will be effected during the coming
session. expect We shall develop the
same opposition with which we have al
ways had to contend The Republicans
will undoubtedly be found in the position
which they have always held, The pro-
tectionists will wage as bitter warfare as
ever, but the reform must come. As to
the reports which l have seen in the papers
that tariff bill is now in course of prepa-
ration, i will say that as yet absolutely
